“The signal can be super sparse you get back at times too. And then what you can do is there's really powerful tools, we use Gong for instance to understand what are maybe prospects or really engineers, to me it's like potential customers, what are they talking about?”
book / recommends
“I really love A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. That book to me is so interesting because I'm a bit of a nerd around science, I used to read a lot of fiction growing up too. And I think weirdly enough, Bill tells this story of the history of science really and how we know the things that we know, and he kind of tells it from the perspective of learning about the scientists that discovered these things. So for instance, you learn that Newton was kind of an asshole to the co-workers he had, or Darwin wasn't maybe perceived as such an amazing scientist at the time. And a lot of these scientists, their discoveries don't become famous. It's almost like being an artist, where you realize the relevance of a scientist's discovery years later at times. And people don't get credit for things that they discovered. So to me, it was really interesting to one, read more about the scale of the universe and how long we've been here. And I think it just puts a lot of things into perspective of our time here, how we spend it. And even the age we're living in now with AI, it's such a blip in the cosmic scale. And then you also get these really fun anecdotes from scientists along the way. So that one I recommend to almost everyone, because it's a pretty easy read as well. And then I think another one, which is maybe a little bit more in the career lens, is this book called Designing Your Life, which is written by actually one of the founders of IDEO, and these folks are Stanford professors in the Design Lab. And what's really powerful about this for me is it's actually pretty practical. So it comes with exercises that I remember I did myself as well when I wasn't sure which direction to go in my career, that helped me really figure out, the most powerful exercise and take away from this book for me was basically in the first or second chapter I think, you write out one page on the meaning of work to you and what does work mean? Is it a way for me to make money? Is it a way for me to feel fulfilled with what I do or how I spend my time? And then you write out one page on the meaning of life. And what's really powerful is it's really, really hard to do those two things, and then you have to find the overlap between the two. And I think that exercise is so clarifying and I recommend it to anyone when they feel stuck in their career, because it can at least, coming back to the energy point, can give you a direction to go even if you're not sure how to get there just yet. And so I love both of those books because they're really shifting from a perspective standpoint.”

“I made a point earlier of, it's become easier to break into product management to some degree if you can use these tools, and now you have all these tools at your disposal to go build the next prototype, but I think the bar just got higher for product managers within a company and what the impact needs to be.”

“I think that there's a feeling that executives might have or VPs of companies might have of like we need to get into AI, but the challenge is that there's this inclination towards doing the same thing that's working so far. And so I think the role of an AI PM in this type of organization is really to be the representative of how can we use these tools to their highest leverage.”

“I think if you really look at it, I actually bring up Yuriy's point again because I was listening to that episode, I thought that was so insightful of he gets so many emails every single day of, we're AI for this, we're building an AI agent for that.”
